Renduchintala K, Arevalo M, Fonseca G, Haver MK, Gwede CK, Pabbathi S, Christy SM. Vaccination uptake among post-treatment cancer survivors: A multi-vaccine scoping review. Vaccine 2024:S0264-410X(24)00602-9. [PMID: 38802291 DOI: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2024.05.043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2023] [Revised: 05/05/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Our goal was to provide an overview of uptake rates across vaccine types and factors associated with vaccine uptake among cancer survivor populations. METHODS A literature search was conducted using Ovid MEDLINE® ALL (Wolters Kluwer), Embase (Elsevier) and CINAHL Complete (EBSCO) databases and according to PRISMA guidelines. Eligible articles were limited to those examining vaccination uptake among cancer survivors who had completed treatment, reported factors associated with uptake (e.g., barriers and facilitators), and published in English between 2011 and 2021. Two independent reviewers screened citations for inclusion and two performed data abstraction, verified by an arbiter. RESULTS The search returned 4,215 total articles, and 271 duplicates were removed. During abstract/title screening, 212 articles were identified. Following full-text screening, 47 articles/abstracts were found to meet inclusion criteria, 16 articles/abstracts were removed, and 31 studies were included in the review. Among the 31 studies, participant age ranged from 9 years to adults of all ages. Vaccine types included: influenza (n = 18), human papillomavirus (n = 10), pneumococcal (n = 8), hepatitis A/B (n = 1), shingles (n = 1), measles (n = 1), tetanus/diphtheria (n = 1), and haemophilus influenza B (n = 1). Vaccine uptake varied greatly across studies, vaccine types, and participant populations. Factors affecting vaccination uptake included sociodemographic variables and social determinants of health, health beliefs/attitudes/knowledge, provider recommendation, and cancer treatment/clinical variables. CONCLUSIONS Our findings highlight the need for further examining factors associated with vaccine uptake, the need for clinical guidelines that specifically address vaccination among cancer survivors, and potential targets for multi-level interventions to improve vaccination rates among cancer survivor populations.

JCO Clin Cancer Inform 2023; 7:e2300004. [PMID: 37267516 PMCID: PMC10530597 DOI: 10.1200/cci.23.00004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2023] [Revised: 03/20/2023] [Accepted: 04/05/2023] [Indexed: 06/04/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE There is growing interest in using computable phenotypes or proxies to identify important clinical outcomes, such as cancer recurrence, in rich electronic health records data. However, the race/ethnicity-specific accuracies of these proxies remain unclear. We examined whether the accuracy of a proxy for colorectal cancer (CRC) recurrence differed by race/ethnicity and the possible mechanisms that drove the differences. METHODS Using data from a large integrated health care system, we identified a stratified random sample of 282 Black/African American (AA), Hispanic, and non-Hispanic White (NHW) patients with CRC who received primary treatment. Patient 5-year recurrence status was estimated using a utilization-based proxy and evaluated against the true recurrence status obtained using detailed chart review and by race/ethnicity. We used covariate-adjusted probit regression models to estimate the associations between race/ethnicity and misclassification. RESULTS The recurrence proxy had excellent overall accuracy (positive predictive value [PPV] 89.4%; negative predictive value 96.5%; mean difference in timing 1.96 months); however, accuracy varied by race/ethnicity. Compared with NHW patients, PPV was 14.9% lower (95% CI, 2.53 to 28.6) among Hispanic patients and 4.3% lower (95% CI, -4.8 to 14.8) among Black/AA patients. The proxy disproportionately inflated the 5-year recurrence incidence for Hispanic patients by 10.6% (95% CI, 4.2 to 18.2). Compared with NHW patients, proxy recurrences for Hispanic patients were almost three times as likely to have been misclassified as positive (adjusted risk ratio 2.91 [95% CI, 1.21 to 8.31]). Higher false positives among racial/ethnic minorities may be related to higher prevalence of noncancerous lung-related problems and substantial delays in primary treatment because of insufficient patient-provider communication and abnormal treatment patterns. CONCLUSION Using a proxy with worse accuracy among racial/ethnic minority patients to estimate population health may misdirect resources and support erroneous conclusions around treatment benefit for these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although most cancer survivors adhere to recommendations to refrain from tobacco and minimize alcohol use, survivors of certain cancers are not meeting these recommendations. In addition, most cancer survivors do not achieve optimal recommendations for diet and physical activity, further decreasing survivor health and quality of life. Sun protective and sleep behaviors also tend to be suboptimal among survivors. Uptake of age-appropriate vaccinations is variable among survivors. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this article is to review the prevalence of healthy behavior uptake among cancer survivors and provide nurses with an overview of effective interventions, strategies, and resources to help patients improve these behaviors. METHODS An expert panel was convened to conduct an integrative review and synthesis on the state of the science of healthy behavior uptake among cancer survivors. FINDINGS Not meeting recommendations for healthy lifestyle behaviors increases the risk of second cancers and mortality and decreases overall health and quality of life. Healthy lifestyle behaviors can contribute to improved function, quality of life, and overall survival for cancer survivors. Nurses can help survivors to understand and improve their behaviors.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate factors associated with pneumococcal vaccination uptake (PVU) of cancer survivors. METHODS A total of 2032 Korean adult cancer survivors diagnosed between June of 1975 and February of 2018 have participated. Information on PVU status and selected variables were collected through self-administered questionnaires and medical record review. Factors associated PVU were investigated using multiple logistic regression analysis. RESULTS PVU rate markedly differed by age strata and cancer sites: 73.9% for elderly (≥ 65 years) survivors and 34.6% for younger (< 65 years) survivors and 73.4% for lung cancer survivors and 42.1% for non-lung cancer survivors. Regular physical exercise was associated with higher PVU in both age groups: Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were 1.52 (1.20, 1.94) for younger and 1.78 (1.09, 2.90) for elderly survivors. Complementary medication use was positively associated with PVU with borderline significance in both age groups. However, the association of PVU with other factors differed between the two age groups. In younger survivors, a positive association with PVU was evident for longer time lapse after cancer diagnosis, chronic disease, and living with spouse/or partner, while cancer stage, educational achievement, and alcohol use were inversely associated PVU. On the other hand, multi-modality (≥ 3) cancer treatment was inversely associated with PVU only in elderly survivors. CONCLUSIONS PVU of Korean cancer survivors was suboptimal in younger survivors and non-lung cancer survivors. Factors associated with PVU differed between younger and elderly survivors, and more diverse factors were identified for younger survivors. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS In order to promote adherence to PVU in cancer survivors, careful consideration of high-risk factors for non-immunization within cancer survivorship context would be necessary together with free-of-charge vaccination policy.
